Dear flist, I love you, but please stop talking about the awesome that is Wolverine because I have yet to see it. In fact, it's been a damn long time since I've seen anything at a cinema which is nigh ridiculous because cinema-going is one of my favourite things to do. The Sister is currently racing towards A-Level exams so she won't go with me; xanitia is far, far away, and the rest of y'all are even further/have seen it already. CURSES, CURSES!

Which is to say: still haven't seen it. Still stupid excited.

I've been awake since 4am. Well. Awake on-and-off until 7, which is when I dragged my carcass out of bed. I have a driving lesson at 9am, and the weather looks good for it, of which I greatly approve. My first lesson was last Saturday, and I didn't panic in the car which is what I thought I might do. So. Plus one for me? Who knows. All I know is that the minute I have to start paying attention to more than one variable, things are going to get decidedly difficult. Guys, I still can't cross the road without a near-death experience, and if you think I am bullshitting, please consider that I have to cross 3 major junctions on my way to work and each time it's 50:50 whether I make it without a bicyclist or a motorist snapping at my heels.

Hmm. It occurs to me that I can probably go to the cinema on Monday? But with whom?! Ridiculous etc. etc.

Have been catching up with fictive drama. I can't believe how much I failed to care for Lost when it first aired and how much I love it now. Time-travel shenanigans! My very favourite.

I also caught up on two great Criminal Minds episodes. The first featured a truly amazing cloaked-interrogation scene between Prentiss and a suspect; the second did what a lot of great Criminal Minds episodes do, and shadowed the unsub. The young boy did a great job. In other news: if Emily, JJ and Garcia decided to set up their own Charlie's Angels-esque trio, I would not be against that. Just saying.

Hmm, what else? Watched the season 2 premiere of In Plain Sight which continues to be a curious mix of intriguing and plain stupid. The Unit did an episode recently which was typical of its brazenly masculine self, but that doesn't excuse the way it ended. Also caught up on NCIS which featured Trent Kort (\o/), a mention of Fornell (actual Fornell is needed before the finale, please), and Abby's best episode to date. What I liked about Abby's showcase this year was how in control she was which isn't always the case. She also seemed the most mature she's been since early season 1 which I miss. In other news, the Kort episode featured one of the best Ziva scenes I've seen in a while. I have another NCIS-and-women post to write but it's more about how feminising Ziva doesn't disempower her. But that's for later, and depends on how other things play out this season. (Have yet to see the first part of the back-door pilot.)

Relatedly: the first part of the S5 finale airs on terrestrial next week. I MIGHT CRY. Again.

I have Pushing Daisies and Dollhouse to watch, and I also need to tell you that thus far I have no love for Caprica. I am very behind on CSI: NY, and I've managed to get to the Saving Grace S2 finale (oh my god). Aaaaand. Oh, god, Bones. I have 5-6 episodes of that waiting for me.

Guys, this is what I do on a Sunday: lock myself up and succumb.

ONE MONTH UNTIL NEW TRUE BLOOD. !!!! When is Mad Men back?

--

I can't even remember the last time I read a novel, holy shit. I think it was Donna Tartt's The Secret History? Was talking to T on Friday about Lolita and how twisted/great that book is. I may have to read it again. I've spent a lot of my train journeys reading fanfiction on my phone, and I think it's probably high time I went back to paper.

Things that I love: there is blossom creating havoc outside my window. It's amazing. We get a ridiculous Westerly here in the Fen, and the blossom just breezes off the branches. It is so fantastic.

Other things that I love: ballet, apparently. Holy shit.

I still can't cross the road without a near-death experience

I hear you! I'm just the same, which is why people tend to grab my hands and drag me across the road. I am known at college for unintentionally trying to get myself killed just trying to cross the road into town.

Cyclists are silly. D: D: D:

Mad Men should be back sometime in August. I don't know if there's an exact date yet, but at least we're getting a third season!
